Real Madrid attacker Gareth Bale admits he's happy playing for coach Carlo Ancelotti.
The Wales international also explained that his one-year loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur helped him mentally ahead of the 2020 European Championship
"I think that showed coming back with Wales in the Euros," Bale said.
"I have brought that into Real Madrid this season, where there is a better environment for myself.
"Every player will tell you if they're in a happier place mentally, then physically they are going to feel better and perform better. I'm playing and a bit happier and a bit more comfortable with the playing style of Real Madrid."
Bale went on to hail his relationship with Ancelotti and expressed his belief that he has had a fine start to the 2021/22 campaign at Los Blancos.
"I've always had a great relationship with Carlo," Bale added.
"But it is always the same: you have to perform to get into the team. I had a good pre-season and a good start to the season. In football, you just have to play well and the perception changes very quickly."
